Société Airlinair, simply known as Airlinair, was a French regional airline based in Rungis, France,[1] operating scheduled regional flights (some of which were on behalf of Air France), and aircraft lease services.[2] The airline has set up bases at Paris-Orly Airport and Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport.

Airlinair, along with Régional and Brit Air, was fully merged into HOP! in 2017 after a year of negotiations.[3]
